Sony to stop making physical discs for PlayStation starting in 2028

Sony announced it will stop producing physical discs for its PlayStation consoles and transition to a fully digital format starting in January 2028. After this shift, new games will only be available digitally through the PlayStation Store and other retailers. This decision will not impact games already released on disc or those coming out before the 2028 deadline. Sony explained that this move aligns with consumer trends, as digital media has become more popular than physical discs. The company, which began as Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo K.K in 1946, launched its first PlayStation console in 1994 and has since released several generations, with the PlayStation 5 being the latest. This transition reflects how most gamers prefer to access and play their games today.
